Portrait Advice

Capture the moment...

The enduring value of a memorable portrait cannot be overestimated. Children grow up,years pass and all that are left are memories.

• Arrange the sitting time after your baby has had a nap and has been fed.
• Bring along several changes of clothing
• Preferably soft fabrics and plain colours
• I shall be photographing in colour and black and white /sepia
• Avoid strong patterns and bright colours
• Very straight skirts on girls are not great in photographs sitting down

I usually photograph children in their bare feet

Tips for Groups and Families

For colour portraits, select a colour theme that blends well for everyone in the photograph

• Choose either warm tones (pinks, reds, browns etc) or cooler tones (blue, greens, greys etc)
• For Black and White portraits….denim and white shirts, navy, black or white looks well
• If your family memebers are passionate about their hobbies lets do a fun photo reflecting the real you.
